After watching the REAL cars racing for REAL around Adelaide today with none other than the legendary Sir Jack Brabham racing it was an awesome sight. I only wish I had been trackside. If it's on again next year I will be there fore sure. The Ferrari with all it's white spaghetti pipes and a Lotus in the Red and Gold Leaf colours brought a lump to the throat. It beat the Lotus on the line by 0.01 of a second. Made the modern stuff look as boring as all hell. Anyway I digress. Got all e***d and re installed GPL and got the dreaded cursor with crashed square around it and constant lockups. I remember when I did this before I solved it by going back to Creative's own drivers and not using the latest (at the time) reference drivers. Well it's some time since then and I'm using the very latest Creative drivers and the problem is back. Can anyone advise a. the best drivers to use and b. where I could DL them. I have got it going by loading without 3DFX as default, setting everything up and then reloading with 3DFX but it's a tad flaky as if you go back to the front screens then try to get back to racing it locks up again. Any help would be appreciated. I'd forgotten how awesome this sim is. It's head and shoulders above anything else. Stuart PS I see some familiar faces (names anyway) from the (whispers) Compuserve Racing Sim Forum days. Hi to you all. Seems old sim racers never die they just get on to the Net.

go to [link lost in import] there you will find Glide2x.dll v 2.53 download and put it in your gpl directory. Gpl will then use the v 2.53 glide dll and not the the 2.54 dll which comes with new drivers. gpl has a problem using the new 2.54 dll. Hope that helps.
